Easier, perhaps, but if the entire government is as wretchedly broken as is claimed, here, then nothing short of a new Constitutional Congress is neccessary. The last 200 years of amazing wealth, propserity, progress and security have been a complete illusion, apparently, acheived in spite of our own government.
Personally, I'm pretty happy with 90% of what our government does, and I suspect that all of this anti-government rhetoric is stemming from a fairly small mumber of particular policies or instances that probably need some fixing. Libertarians strike me as wanting to demolish the whole house because the roof leaks.
